We are off to a great start at MES. It was wonderful seeing all of the kids this morning. So many smiling faces, hugs, and stories. I am grateful to be your principal.
We have modified our drop off procedures in the car line. For drop off we will be releasing students next to the grassy area on the west side of the sidewalk instead of by the fence. Please wait for someone to come to your car before letting out your children. We want to make sure everything is safe and everyone is accounted for before we open car doors for students.
If you are not walking your child to school, or if your child does not ride the bus, please make sure you are dropping off and picking up in the car rider line behind school. Only walkers and buses drop off and pick up in front of the school. Below is a description and diagram of the procedure.
Please enter on Patterson St. between the Marathon/Village Pantry and Morristown High School. Enter the high school parking lot and follow the drive, to the right, around the back of the high school and continue straight past the grassy area with the lightpole. Continue straight until the end of the parking section and next light pole. Turn right, around the light pole, and continue to the end of the next parking section. (We will put some cones at this turn.) Turn left at the cones and drive toward the sidewalk. Continue along the sidewalk until you reach the corner of the parking lot, in front of the new gym entrance. After loading or unloading your child, please exit the parking lot onto Locust Street. Please see the maps below.
We will begin unloading car riders at 7:58 every morning, and we will begin loading car riders, in the afternoon, at 3:05. Preschool will be dismissed at 2:30 daily (2:00 on Wednesdays). K-5 parents, please do not enter the back parking lot before 2:30 daily (2:00 on Wednesdays).
● Early Learning: 2:00 PM
● Elementary (K-5): 2:30 PM
● Secondary (6-12): 2:40 PM
All schedules should now be visible in the Parent-Student PowerSchool Portal. If you notice an issue with your child's schedule, please email your school counselor.
We are excited and eager to shape, empower, and support the minds of tomorrow!

🚌 IMPORTANT: Transportation Registration
Due to a change in our transportation routing software, please double-check your child’s Transportation selection during registration. If there is any possibility your child will need transportation at any point during the school year, make sure “YES” is selected. Students who are not marked “YES” do not appear in our routing software and cannot be assigned to a bus route until their transportation selection is updated.
📢 Please Note: To help our staff prepare for the fall, it is vital that all enrollment forms are completed in their entirety. Take a few minutes to check this off your summer "To-Do" list today so you can get back to enjoying the sunshine!
It is time to register for the Summer Meals Program! The program kicks off next Wednesday, May 27th. Please follow the link below to sign up. Only one registration is needed for the whole summer, but please fill out a separate form for each child. Thank you! https://forms.gle/GwVFR8TTJsAshkNGA
